OK. I've read the whole thread over the course of the last few weeks. It's quite the thread! Torg is definitely a thing. There's some great stuff out there too, like Reign. I'm quite taken with Reign, and would love to run a campaign within the default setting. Are there any pre-written adventures out there for me to get my feet wet with? My googling has been ineffective.

Halloween Jack posted:The supplements for REIGN are free on Stolze's sight, last I checked, and one of the sections in The First Book of Reign is a chapter on campaign seeds, at least, because Stolze was tired of being asked "But what do I do with it?" Yeah, I've read (devoured) the supplements. I'm looking for stuff about things like encounter balancing and rest pacing and difficulties/penalties, maybe examples of the early stages of building up a Company. I was hoping to be able to spend my energy guiding players and myself through the mechanics and setting, and lean on someone else for balancing/pacing. Lazy, you might reasonably say, but I'm deeply out of GM practice and don't want to build out a whole thing myself if the mechanics or setting aren't going to stick with my group. Nonetheless, I'll revisit the seeds! Thanks. E: hmm, I can find the setting colour (Ob-lobs and 7 cities), but nothing that feels like campaign seeds upon revisiting. What did you have in mind? E2: Second Year of our Reign has it! Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Green Intern posted:4e at least had marks and other punishing effects to encourage the GM to attack defender classes. I always wondered how the enemy knew which character marked them, so they knew who to attack without penalty. (It also seems to require a minimum of intelligence in the enemy. A wolf isn't going to realize what being marked means.)

Of course they do, or some other renowned literary figure. Nobody says "I'm mediocre at writing fluff, let's publish a bunch of it", really.

Mr. Maltose posted:I think it means Ranged by way of using your other Ranged Style Techniques with a weapon, but on the other hand your sword hitting that motherfucker all the way over there is the kind of ninja bullshit that a style capstone should probably give you? Yeah, your way makes more sense but I like mine better.

Cythereal posted:Yeah, I'm just immediately struck by the PC idea of a powerful, successful woman who wears her hair long, hunts monsters, pursues courtly love with other noblewomen and perhaps even marries one, and is awarded huge honors by liege and lady. But for the sake of saving face because such a person is such a shocking breach of social mores everyone attests that she's a man and she gets on with her life. I see what you're going for, but I think it would amount to much ado about nothing.

Speleothing posted:AAH's concept basically ought to be played from a "Hell wiped out supermax two days ago and now it's coming for you" perspective. Your characters have been in hellspace for 1-3 weeks, and need to survive for just a few more days to reach the colony. It's "Dante's Con Air Inferno".

I was interested in Wurm because someone mentioned that it's child-friendly, but then the opening fiction features a rape and murder, so maybe we mean different things by that. I guess we'll see; I'll go back and read more. The PDF is 25% off ($12) on DTRPG right now through July 31, fwiw.

PurpleXVI posted:Thing is, psychological horror isn't something any sort of system is ever going to support, in my opinion, only good roleplaying and investment from the players and GM. Like, is there any system that does it as something more than a Brain HP track that eventually terminates in gaining some sort of mental illness rather than dying outright? Because I definitely don't feel like I've ever seen that. Isn't that what Delta Green does?

Dallbun posted:The paintings aren’t linked to the wraiths magically, but there are coins and stuff hidden between the canvas and the frame backings, which will spill out if the paintings are slashed. (1,650 coins total! I’m not sure I can mentally picture how this works, but, uh, okay!) There’s also a cloak of protection +3. Look forward to the PCs destroying art left and right for the rest of the campaign!

I was inspired by the Altered Carbon series to finally read Eclipse Phase. I just got to “spend 1000 points 1-10 at a time” and my jaw literally dropped. I’m hoping there are a fuckton of pregens later in the book.

Halloween Jack posted:Wraeththu's release was greeted at RPGnet with a thread titled something like "Wraeththu: Most Pretentious Game Ever?" The author--"Gabriel Strange," whose parents definitely named him that--did not take this well. Not only did he deign to get into it with people on the forum, he started a thread of his own called "Wraeththu: Bring On The Clowns" to drag it out even further. Man, that “Bring On The Clowns” thread is good stuff!

MonsterEnvy posted:I highly doubt no matter how good it is that it has surpassed D&D in playerbase. "Other types of programs"? Like programs that produce additional world and mechanical material to help people play the kind of game they want to play? Or perhaps a program that is honest about errata and repairs mechanical issues found in the game so that people don't end up trapped (Beastmaster, Frenzy Barbarian)? In what way does a playerbase support a game? How do my friends and I benefit from the fact that a bunch of other people are at risk of choosing Champion?
